Sam Darnold, Teddy Bridgewater show Jets have good depth at quarterback

The Jets have a problem.

Finally!

For a team that has had precious little to celebrate at the quarterback position, there are suddenly some promising alternatives as they take their next steps toward the start of the regular season.

There is Teddy Bridgewater, the 25-year-old former first-round pick who has missed nearly two years because of a knee injury but looked splendid in his first extensive live action Friday night.
